**Bruce Springsteen Endorses Kamala Harris for President**
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen has thrown his support behind Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, adding his voice to a growing list of celebrities who have endorsed the vice president in her race against Donald Trump. The announcement was made public on Thursday via a video shared by Springsteen on Instagram.
Springsteen, 75, known for his iconic song "Born to Run," articulated his concerns about Trump's candidacy, describing him as "the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime." He contrasted this with his view of Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, praising their inclusive vision for America. "Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity," he stated. Springsteen also lauded their economic plans aimed at benefiting all citizens, not just a wealthy few.
This endorsement follows support for Harris from other prominent figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Barbara Streisand, highlighting a significant trend of celebrity backing for the vice president.
In response to Springsteen’s endorsement, Walz expressed his excitement and gratitude on X, previously known as Twitter. "Wow. As a lifelong fan of The Boss, I couldn't be more honored to have his support," he wrote.
Concluding his video message, Springsteen emphasized the importance of voting, expressing respect for differing opinions but underscoring the value of his own vote. "Now, everybody sees things different and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen. But like you, I've only got one vote, and it's one of the most precious possessions that I have. That's why come November 5 I'll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Thanks for listening," he concluded.
Springsteen's endorsement is seen by many as a significant boost for Harris's campaign as election day approaches.
